The ancient forms of the name "Marseille" - "Marselia" and "Massalia" - show Kartvelian suffixes "-el" and "-al". The root in this case can be the Megrelian masdar "marsua", meaning "enclosure", "fence". Pay attention to the presence of the passive participle "marsili" (enclosed) in the Megrelian dictionary.
